At Nespresso, we like to think of coffee as that all-important elixir that keeps workplaces all over the country not just humming, but running like well-oiled, finely tuned machines as well.
In fact, it’s not just something we think – it’s something we know. Research shows that 64% of Australian workers value coffee breaks with their colleagues as an important source of support and emotional wellbeing.
A cup of coffee might facilitate work chats and provide the perfect start to your work day, but it’s also the ideal companion if you’re reading up on business, too.
Our friends over at Booktopia have drawn up a list of the top business books available right now – best pondered with a high-quality cup of Nespresso coffee in hand.
Nespresso Australia’s Coffee Ambassador, Mitch Monaghan, has provided his recommendations on the best coffees to match with Booktopia’s top business books
1. Dare to Lead
A guide to being professionally courageous by the doyen of all matters leadership and connection by Brené Brown.

2. Elevate

5. Good Arguments
